Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Face off with Tong Xingda

In the evening, Qiao Qinghe appeared in the Qiao family’s small courtyard, and the family had a quite harmonious dinner together.

Qiao Qinghe solemnly thanked Zhuang Luhe. If it weren’t for his indulgence over the years, the Sun family would not have turned to banditry.

Zhuang Luhe dared not accept Qiao Qinghe’s gratitude and quickly stepped aside.

Talking about the past inevitably led to tearful emotions. They spent the whole evening until late night having dinner.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The next day, Qiao Changshun followed the workers to the fields. Since Zhuang Luhe’s return, he had been revolving around her, not having gone to the fields for several days. He needed to check on them.

He also had to assign some work to Qiao Qinghe, and he needed to check on that as well.

Qiao Xiaomai followed him too.

The water from the Spiritual Spring was inexhaustible. She had to irrigate the crops more to earn a big fortune at the time of the autumn harvest.

Zhuang Luhe stayed at home sewing clothes, with the sisters Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi accompanying her.

Truthfully, she felt somewhat awkward in front of the two sisters. Although it was Qiao Chang’an who had made the mistake, to have these two sisters become… domestic slaves…

But thinking of Qiao Xiaomai, she wiped away her tears and didn’t dwelve too much into it.

If it wasn’t for Qiao Xiaomai’s ingenious strategies, she didn’t dare to think where Xiaomai would be now.

Well, since things had turned out this way, she would just have to accept it.

She needed to recuperate from her poor health, and having people to help with the household chores was indeed rather nice.

In the evening, when the workers came to settle their wages, Zhuang Luhe subconsciously hid in the house, and Xiaomai didn’t stop her. No need to rush things.

Days passed like this, with Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang staying at the Qiao family’s place. One day at noon, when Zhuang Luhe had finished cooking lunch, the family gathered around the dining table for lunch.

Lately, Tong Sanlang had been teaching Qiao Dami how to read whenever he was free. The lunchtime conversation revolved around this topic, and since discussing education was a positive topic, everyone had a smile on their face. Suddenly, the courtyard gate was knocked, “Sanlang, Xiaomai!”

It was a powerful male voice, it was Tong Xingda.

Hearing the voice, Tong Sanlang immediately stood up, rapidly walking towards the gate. His heart was racing, wondering what Tong Xingda was coming over for…

The courtyard gate was opened, and Tong Xingda poked his head in to look around. Seeing a group of people gathered around the dining table, he immediately laughed, “Changsun, this isn’t fair, you have turned Sanlang into a son-in-law.”

Tong Xingda said these words in jest, but Qiao Changsun didn’t dare to treat it as a joke and quickly replied, “No, Luhe is not feeling well, so Xiaomai decided to stay and take care of her for a few days.”

“Oh, our daughter-in-law has returned home from work.” Noticing Zhuang Luhe, Tong Xingda greeted her.

Zhuang Luhe laughed in an awkward manner, not saying a word.

Tong Xingda made his way into the courtyard, “You’re having your meal just in time. Let’s eat together.”

“Yes, let’s eat together,” Qiao Changsun quickly stood up and went into the kitchen to fetch some chopsticks.

Tong Xingda sat down, took a bite from the dishes, and then furrowed his brow. Something was off about the taste, “Who made this?”

“Luhe made it, what’s wrong?” Qiao Changsun replied.

“Oh, it seems different with Xiaomai around. Xiaomai, even after coming back home you still let your mother-in-law cook, huh?” Tong Xingda turned to look at Qiao Xiaomai. Even though he was smiling, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Upon hearing his words, a faint smile appeared on Xiaomai’s face, “After all, my value in the family is well known. I can’t just be cooking in the kitchen all day.”

“No matter how valuable you are, you are still younger when it comes to elders.” Tong Xingda was not expecting Xiaomai’s nonchalant reply, and his smile instantly disappeared.

“It’s true that I’m younger, but my mom simply doesn’t want me to work.”
